2010 Map of Turtle Bay

About this map

Turtle Bay and Carancahua Bay dominate this coastal landscape, where the land fragmentizes into complex wetland systems like Buttermilk Slough. The 2010 shoreline is marked by distinct geological features such as Lund Motte Shell Beach and several prominent points including Well Point and Schicke Point. Small coastal settlements and recreation hubs are clustered along the inlets, notably the El Campo Club Community and Schicke Point Community, supported by the At Last Marina. Further inland, the map shows a shift toward aviation and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by the Sartwelle Ranch Airport and the larger Palacios Municipal Airport. The drainage network, featuring Fivemile Branch and Reed Creek, illustrates the intricate hydrology that feeds into the Matagorda Bay system.
